    IMO prefer the visor over the stove top that unbalances the whole phone on a flat surface.

      In experience yes but aesthetically I don’t agree. Actually the metal block and color looks bad. It could have been much better with better curves and colors IMO.

        This is still kind of reading like “Look, I know ‘pretty phones over privacy’ is a bad take, so no, but really, yeah.”

        Basically all the positives you’ve mentioned have been aesthetic, with one you even admit is worse to actually use, but which you prefer the look of.

          But it is not like I don’t care. I care within some limits. Using a phone I don’t like aesthetically is not in that limits.

            See, this

            I care within some limits. Using a phone I don’t like aesthetically is not in that limits.

            and this

            No no, I would prefer privacy.

            are in direct opposition. They are irreconcilable positions. It’s your phone, it’s okay for you to decide you won’t compromise on aesthetics on your own devices, if that’s what’s important to you. Just own it and be prepared for pushback when you’re commenting on an article about a privacy-focused OS and using this as the basis of your criticism.

              1. privacy focused good-looking phone
                1. privacy focused bad-looking phone
                2. spyware good-looking phone
              2. spyware bad-looking phone

              in this list, my preference order is: 1, 2.2, 2.1, 3. As you can see, I would prefer 1 if it was available, but there is not.

              Also, I criticized the appearance of the phone, not the privacy-focused OS.

        You just raw doggin out here without a phone case? All those aesthetics go away once its in the case anyway. The pixels are amazing phones and been daily driving graphene for about 6 months; its great.

          I’m a year and a half in to Graphene. The community is kinda trash in some respects, but it’s one hell of an OS.
